Any March 11 sleevers at Mi Doctor?

[lexysmom04 0]

My husband is getting sleeved by Dr. Ortiz on March 11 and he cant wait he is so excited! I on the other hand have been so nervous and worried lol typical wife I guess. Im just not ready to lose him and keep telling myself that the MX doctors have been doing these procedures longer than here in the US so what am I worrying about but oh well. I know all will go well and I have been reading all of the feedback and first hand experiences and boy has it helped me. Just curous to see who else is getting slee day and if you are going alone or with someone. Good luck to all you sleevers and thanks again for all the positive feedback

My wife wanted me to reply because she can't get her phone to work

We are here I'm very excited she is very anxious and nervous. Just had some broth it's very good just ad a bit of lime to it to give it a kick.

Lexysdad smart on the broth the packet I got from my coordinator said if you arrive the day before surgery you can have dinner so I ordered room service, to later get a call from my coordinator saying only liquids hope this doesn't mean I'll have to postpone my surgery. I'm looking forward to having this all done and over

Please call your coordinator ASAP and let them know maybe you can have a cleanse tonight and clean it all out. Are you staying at the Marriott? We have an extra bottle of magnesium citrate if you want it. You can private message me if you want to.

Ok so yesterday I went in to have surgery at 12pm, to me everything went super well I was back in my room b4 I new it and the doctor was giving me a time line of what to expect next (can't say I caught it all was still droopy) then I walked and walked and walked every 1hr today I woke up walked had a leak test the blue dye then took a shower and changed into my normal clothes then had another leak test which I passed and then more pain meds and more pain meds I guess I got lucky cause my doctor left a schedule for the nurses to follow as to when to shoot me up with pain meds weather or not I needed them

Now my wife she says the anesthesia wore off just as they where bring me out and that I started trying to get up and arguing with the docs until they gave me more sleeping gas, I don't remember but one of the male nurse says I did and that its very common for men to do that
